VA Palo Alto New Graduate Program 2012

[septemberRN]

Hi all! I just applied to the VA's new graduate program in Palo Alto (The due date was January 26, 2012). I was hoping those that applied could keep in tabs and update others when news is received. Good luck to everyone!

I have been meaning to start reviewing & what not, but haven't found the time to! I will probably cram a bit of information in before next Monday though... Excited to meet you all!

@robinson1211 your first day is at palo alto and not livermore??

[robinson1211]

@Bella2004 Yes it is. According to my committment letter new employee and new nurse orientation is held at the Palo Alto campus for all employees regardless of assigned employment site. I have a friend who was also hired into the new grad program at the Menlo Park location, she has also been assigned orientation in Palo Alto.

Anyone wearing scrubs day one?? I doubt we're going to be on the floor, but I just wanted to make sure.
